These are equivalent: http://dev.mydomain.com/inbox/ /inbox/ The only difference is that one has the full domain information. > I wrote the following line in the .htaccess file, > > <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> > RewriteEngine on > RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L] > RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L] > > # this line was added by me > #DocumentRoot > /var/www/html/dev.mydomain.com/aaa/bbb/code_project/app/webroot/ > </IfModule> > > But, when I tried accessing the url, it gave me a 500 error. > > Can anybody help me gaining knowledge of how exactly this thing works > and how to set it all up? You're on the right track, but DocumentRoot should not be placed there. In fact, it must not appear anywhere inside an htaccess file. It belongs in the main httpd.conf or that of a virtual host. If you have the ability to edit those, do so. And also disable htaccess there as it will speed up requests moderately. -- snip -- DocumentRoot /path/to/site/app/webroot <Directory "/path/to/site/app/webroot"> Options FollowSymLinks # disable .htaccess AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all DirectoryIndex index.php index.html # copied from app/webroot/.htaccess <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L] </IfModule> </Directory> -- snip -- -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
